Dear lybrate-user
After kidney transplantation immunosuppressant drugs will help prevent rejection and will have to be taken for as many years as the kidney functions or could be 10 years or more on several cases. Without these drugs your transplanted kidney will suffer rejection and failure. Also your old kidneys were not working and hence you underwent a transplant. They will not function again.

Hello.
A 4th generation combo test (antigen/ antibody fda approved test) will detect hiv inf in 95% of cases by the test done after 4 wks of suspected exposure if infected. So a negative result by 4th gen combo test is atleast a good sign of potential non infection.
However as per the current guidelines a follow up test at 90 days is really needed to be sure of hiv negativity.
Again, the same 4th gen combo test will detect hiv antibodies in 99.9% of cases by 90th day of suspected exp...more

Dear lybrate-user, You are HIV negative.
The doctor is either ignorant or willfully misguiding you. If what you said about the doctor is true, I genuinely doubt about his degree.
Anyways, as your issues are of urgent nature, please take private consult with audio video chat and then we can guide you properly.
Also do HBsAg and VDRL tests.
Take HBV vaccines.
Don't waste time.

There is a window period of three months after exposure but you have done your test after 4 months so as of now don't worry about it.
